Coder lift the trophy at inaugural event

The Nest’s Norfolk Hire Arena was the setting for the Community Sports Foundation’s inaugural Corporate 5-a-side tournament, as 19 teams battled it out for glory.

The event was sponsored by Axe Financial and Coder Agency, and it was the latter whose team emerged victorious at the end of the day, narrowly defeating BizClik Media Group Ballers 1-0 in the final.

Matches were played in competitive but friendly spirit, with fundraising for the Foundation’s vital community work the ultimate goal – the current total stands at over £5,500 and will be added to at the conclusion of the online auction.

The auction includes prizes such as luxury holidays, golf breaks at well-known courses, a helicopter experience, and much more; it is still live and ends on Thursday 19th May – view the prizes and bid here.
